Guest Post with Naomi Bellina
Do werewolves get old?
One of the best parts about reading
paranormal books is seeing how each author creates her world. You have to make
rules for your kingdom, then stick with them. Supernatural beings can have many
characteristics. How can they be killed? What are their weaknesses? Their
strengths? Do they live forever? I want
my were-creatures to age. Yes, they live longer, healthier lives than humans
but they do grow old. And it sucks! That’s one of the themes I had big fun
playing with in Sins of Long Ago.
Imagine you’re an alpha werewolf,
used to being in charge, to getting what and who you want. One day, you start
to notice lines on your face that weren’t there yesterday. You move a little
slower in a fight, want to come in sooner from a moon run. You’re aging, like you
knew you would, and like us regular old mortals, you start to think about
serious shit. The fun and games of youth are over and your thoughts turn to the
future. To family, friends, and maybe leaving behind some kind of legacy.
I had a challenge with one
particular scene in Sins. My editor
asked me to change it, because it made Vincent, my hero, look kind of sleazy.
The scene is important because it helps show his vulnerability when he’s
treated differently than he expects, due to his “mature” nature. I rose
to the challenge and came up with a great compromise that my editor and I both
loved. Vincent keeps his morals intact but I still got to make him suffer a
little at the hands of a wily woman.
I hope no matter what your age, you
enjoy reading Sins of Long Ago as
much as I enjoyed writing it.
About the Book
Title Sins of Long Ago
Genre Paranormal Romance
Author Naomi Bellina
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Werewolves and humans don’t mix.
Until danger forces an alliance and desire demands satisfaction.
Leading his pack of werewolves
keeps Vincent plenty busy, and now with a predator out to harm them, life is
more perilous than ever. The last thing he needs is a woman to complicate
matters, especially one who sets his body and soul on fire. She’s a human and a
witch — totally the wrong woman for him. Even if he could take a mate for his
own, he refuses to put her in the danger his life has become. No way can they
ever be together. Werewolf-style love is fine anyway. No permanent partner, no
bullshit, no heartache.
Genevieve has never known true
love. Cursed by an enraged woman long
ago, females in her family are doomed to go insane if they fall in love. Life
has been fine without a man around– until a hot werewolf drops in and captures
her heart. Though they have plenty of obstacles to overcome, Gen knows they can
work past them. Tell that to Vincent, as he struggles with old pack rules about
love, sex, and consorting with humans.
As Vincent searches for a killer,
deals with death among his own, and tries to keep his hands off Gen, she
attempts to end her family curse. Together, they must find a way to break free
from the sins of long ago.
